Modular machines

Interchangeable standard components give MOVITEC Linear Modules and Tables design flexibility. Depending on load and speed requirements, engineers can select from different transmission, drive, and motor configurations, among other options. For example:

MOVITEC Linear Modules, designed to replace complex or bulky pneumatic cylinders, come in four sizes: 70, 90, 130, and 160, with screw (MV2P) or belt (MC2P) transmission and one linear guide with two slide units. Where the application demands high rigidity and accuracy, types MV4P and MC4P offer two linear guides and four slide units.

MOVITEC Linear Tables of size 100, 150, 200, and 250 are available with ball bushing shaft guides or linear guides, with the exception of tables 300 and 400.

It won't be too much longer and hardware design, as we used to know it, will be remembered alongside the slide rule and the Karnaugh map. You will need to move beyond those familiar bits and bytes into the new world of software centric design.

People who want to take advantage of solar energy in their homes no longer need to install a bolt-on solar-panel system atop their houses -- they can integrate solar-energy-harvesting shingles directing into an existing or new roof instead.

Kaspersky Labs indicated at its February meeting that cyber attacks are far more sophisticated than previous thought. It turns out even air-gapping (disconnecting computers from the Internet to protect against cyber intrusion) isn’t a foolproof way to avoid getting hacked. And Kaspersky implied the NSA is the smartest attacker.
